I really was excited for the car! And I understand delays. But 7.5 years has felt like a long time to wait.

@sama @grok if I invested $50,000 all into $TSLA stock on July 11, 2018 and never sold, how much would my shares be worth today?

@gheeunit @sama On July 11, 2018, TSLA's split-adjusted closing price was $21.26, so $50,000 would have bought you about 2,352 shares. As of the October 30, 2025, close at $440.10, your investment would now be worth approximately $1,035,000. That's a roughly 20.7x return, highlighting Tesla's

@sama you can't be worrying about 50k like this

@jaltma little brother energy is the WORST

@sama I’m seeing $45k, where do you get the $50k figure from?

@sama It’s 45k why are you asking for 50k?

@sama why is the refund $50K while the reservation cost was $45K?

@sama Wait so you have beef with Elon but want his car?

@sama Sama, I get it, you & Elon are beef'n. But they're showing off a updated (flying) version THIS YEAR. To be sold in 2026. Why wait soo long, only to bail right before the payoff?

@sama Why cancel after waiting 7.5 years when the final version is going to be unveiled end of year 😂

@sama Whatever happened to that kid that got murdered at your company?

@sama Made with Sora

@sama I doubt that replying to an automated email is how you cancel a reservation…

@sama Is this one nonprofit gets you?

@sama The 3 acts: 1. Transferred $45k 2. Waited patiently 3. Asked for $50k

@sama 😡

@sama Savage

@sama Did you cancel this before or after you had the whistleblower k*lled?

@sama Non profit means you can't buy sports cars dude. Your Koenigsegg sure screams non profit. As in, {!delete a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something} Mong.

@sama This seems a lot less bad than taking donations for a non-profit, then converting to a for-profit after developing a bunch of valuable tech. For example.

@sama No one ever asked Elon if he murdered someone lol chill bro

@sama Maybe u shouldnt have taken the company Elon started and turned it into a for profit $1 Trillion monster …. Maybe

@sama You murdered a whistleblower.

@sama So it’s ok for you to do it to him but not ok when he does it to you?

@sama Sam, 7.5yr wait's brutal, but Tesla's chief designer confirms Roadster unveil late 2025...0-60 under 2s, 620mi range, top speed 250+mph. SpaceX thrusters optional for 1s accel. Reconsider refund? 🚀🔥

@sama I'm quite fond of this claim, almost a decade old 😂 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/...

@sama Please tell me you got your $50k back? If not, Elon stole money from you then.

@sama Sam Altman is nothing but trash.

@sama Are you sure it’s the right way to cancel, via some auto email address? There’s definitely is some more reliable path to sort this out

@sama Scam Altman got scammed?

@sama Its almost always better to buy the stock than reserve the car.
